All case studies
Snowflake
A print collective where thirty members each maintained a private list, and three of them emailed the same collector on the same morning.
The problem
Snowflake discovered its coordination problem the day one illustrator received three near-identical invitations from three members of the same collective, each unaware the others existed.
The apology was polite. The follow-up spreadsheet merge took a full weekend and produced a document nobody trusted, which is the traditional outcome of a full weekend of spreadsheet merging.
With Artkive
One shared roster with visible ownership, so the collective could finally answer the question of who knows whom without convening a meeting about it.
Everyone can see the full list; each relationship is credited to the member who holds it. Overlaps get flagged before an email goes out twice, which has spared several dignities.
The results
30
Members, one roster
With per-member ownership
5
Group shows coordinated
Without a weekend merge
0

Since switching over
Snowflake is invented for this demo, and so is every figure above it.
